Abstract

A method for a server to share video information, includes: receiving descriptive information regarding a video from a first user terminal; and sending the descriptive information to a second user terminal, for the second user terminal to play the video according to the descriptive information, wherein a first user of the first user terminal has a preset relationship with a second user of the second user terminal.

       4. A method for sharing video information on a second user terminal, the second user terminal being configured to communicate with a first user terminal through a server, the method comprising:
 receiving descriptive information regarding a video from the server, wherein the descriptive information is provided by a first user of the first user terminal having a preset relationship with a second user of the second user terminal, includes a play progress of the video when the first user terminal receives a comment regarding the video from the first user, and is sent by the server to the second user terminal in response to receiving the descriptive information from the first user terminal; 
 displaying the descriptive information; and 
 playing the video according to the descriptive information upon receiving an operation for playing of the video. 
 
     
     
       5. The method according to  claim 4 , wherein the receiving of the descriptive information further comprises:
 receiving at least one of: a play progress of the video being currently played on the first user terminal, the comment made by the first user regarding the video, an identifier of the video, or a play Internet Protocol (IP) address of the video. 
 
     
     
       6. The method according to  claim 5 , wherein when the descriptive information includes at least one of the identifier of the video or the play IP address of the video, the playing of the video according to the descriptive information comprises:
 acquiring the video according to the at least one of the identifier of the video or the play IP address of the video; and 
 playing the video from a start of the video. 
 
     
     
       7. The method according to  claim 5 , wherein when the descriptive information includes a play progress of the video being currently played on the first user terminal and at least one of the identifier of the video or the play IP address of the video, the playing of the video according to the descriptive information comprises:
 acquiring the video according to the at least one of the identifier of the video or the play IP address of the video; and 
 playing the video from the play progress of he video being currently played on the first user terminal. 
 
     
     
       8. The method according to  claim 5 , wherein when the descriptive information includes a play progress of the video when the first user terminal receives the comment from the first user and at least one of the identifier of the video or the play IP address of the video, the playing of the video according to the descriptive information comprises:
 acquiring the video according to the at least one of the identifier of the video or the play IP address of the video; and 
 playing the video from the play progress of the video when the first user terminal receives the comment from the first user. 
 
     
     
       9. The method according to  claim 4 , wherein after the playing of the video according to the descriptive information, the method further comprises:
 receiving a comment regarding the video from the second user; and 
 sending the comment to the server, for the server to send the comment to the first user terminal for display. 
 
     
     
       10. A server for sharing video information, comprising:
 a processor; 
 a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor; 
 wherein the processor is configured to: 
 receive descriptive information regarding a video from a first user terminal, the descriptive information including a play progress of the video when the first user terminal receives a comment regarding the video from the first user; and 
 in response to the receiving of the descriptive information, send the descriptive information to a second user terminal, for the second user terminal to play the video according to the descriptive information, wherein a first user of the first user terminal has a preset relationship with a second user of the second user terminal. 
 
     
     
       11. The server according to  claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
 receive, as the descriptive information, at least one of: a play progress of the video being currently played on the first user terminal, the comment made by the first user regarding the video, or an identifier of the video, a play Internet Protocol (IP) address of the video.
